Nevada City, CA and the Yuba River

Nevada City, nestled in the picturesque Sierra Nevada foothills of California, exudes a charming blend of historic allure and natural beauty. Founded during the Gold Rush era, its streets are lined with impeccably preserved Victorian buildings, offering a glimpse into the town’s rich past. Artisan shops, cozy cafes, and quaint boutiques dot the downtown area, inviting visitors to explore its unique character.

One of the town’s most beloved natural treasures is the nearby Yuba River. Flowing through rugged canyons and verdant forests, the Yuba River is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Its crystalline waters offer opportunities for swimming, fishing, and kayaking, while its scenic trails beckon hikers to explore the surrounding wilderness. With its tranquil swimming holes, cascading waterfalls, and sun-dappled shores, the Yuba River provides a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, making it a cherished destination for locals and travelers alike.

Post Workshop River Trip

For those who would like to stay longer, there is a day trip being organized for Wednesday. The Yuba River is a beautiful river system in the region offering many swimming spots to take a refreshing dip in the summer heat. There’s also the possibility of exploring river restoration projects happening nearby to which could be a valuable educational opportunity (TBD).
